Favorites gone mad...
I’ll try to explain this as precisely as I can so you don’t need to waste your time asking me further questions.
I have windows 7 Ultimate.
I have a desktop shortcut to Favorites.
To my knowledge, I have changed nothing recently.
I have run multiple AV & Malware scans that all come back clean.
Here’s the problem:
Anything I try to move within the main Favorites (only favorites) folder generates a yellow “Windows Security Warning” that says in part “These Files May be Harmful…” I’m sure you have all seen them before.
Now, this only happens within the main folder, not in subfolders within Favorites.
It is not limited to Internet shortcuts either.
I can open a new word doc in Favorites and as soon as I try to move it within or to the desktop, I get the “Warning.” I can move anything from outside the Favorites into it without the warning but if I try to move that same item back out I get the warning. I have read old Google items but they all refer to it being a Local Intranet issue. I don’t think so.
